[plug] Bonded ethernet balance-rr and or active-backup

[Paul Dean]

Hi Paul,

Did you set the LACP options for your bond0? ie `bond-lacp-rate` and `bond-xmit-hash-policy`

Also maybe check the switch link agg protocol, make sure its LACP and not something else the TP wants to use.

Thanks

Paul Dean.
